The instructions were tested on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen (X1C5) on Arch Linux but should be applicable to other Lenovo models and Linux distributions.

BACKUP YOUR DATA! I created a bootable Ubuntu Image like this:

$ sudo sh -c 'curl --location --silent --fail "http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" | pv > /dev/<your-usb-drive>'
# note that pv is only there to show progress, it is perfectly fine to redirect curl to the usb drive directly.

then I booted from this drive by pressing F12 on reboot and dumped my NVMe disk to an external hard drive like this:

Prerequisites

smart card reader supported by GnuPG

I use [0.332][4], a mod of the [SCM332 V2][1] which is comparatively light and small. Previously, I was simply using the SCM332 V2 directly with an OTG adapter.

	# mailing lists
	#
	# This automatically sorts mail from mailing lists into folders named after the list
	# [email protected] will go into your IMAP Lists/misc folder
	# [email protected] will go into Lists/fanciness
	# (if you need more specific rules, you can tweak or add a rule for your specific lists ahead of this rule)
	#
	# Now, procmail doesn't(?) have capturing groups, closest it has a capturing \/,
	# which grabs everything from itself to the end of the line* of the match
	# (thanks https://serverfault.com/questions/660159/procmail-recipe-with-capturing-group/660571);
